Open Positions

Any open positions will be posted here.

Internship Program

OAR’s internship program provides college and graduate students with the chance to gain valuable experience in a dynamic, nonprofit environment. We seek individuals who are passionate about autism, detail-oriented, and strategic thinkers. Interns work closely with staff on meaningful projects that benefit the autism community and support OAR’s mission.

While OAR is not a clinical setting, interns engage with the autism community through educational outreach and program support. Interns do not provide interventions, conduct original research, or interact with families directly.

Please see the Open Positions section above for active internship opportunities.

Volunteer

As a small non-profit, we rely on the dedication of talented volunteers to support the autism community.

We offer a diverse range of service opportunities for volunteers of all ages and abilities. Contribute to our advocacy, education, or fundraising efforts. Engage with your local community or connect with the autism community online. Learn about the different ways you can get involved!
